Patent EP-1330632-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHENCK WILLIAM P JR
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un capteur capacitif comportant un séparateur venant entre un conducteur intérieur et un conducteur extérieur. Ce séparateur comporte un élément qui entoure sensiblement le conducteur extérieur et inclut plusieurs éléments de séparation qui sont orientés vers l'intérieur au travers d'orifices ménagés dans le conducteur extérieur de façon à amener le conducteur intérieur en position concentrique par rapport au conducteur extérieur. Ces séparateurs se montent facilement depuis l'extérieur du conducteur extérieur en traversant les orifices du conducteur extérieur, ce qui permet de simplifier la production de tels capteurs. Les séparateurs permettent également à un matériau de combler et d'évacuer facilement le volume entre les conducteurs, ce qui permet à une plus grande quantité de matériau à mesurer d'entrer en contact avec les conducteurs, améliorant d'autant la linéarité et le gain de la mesure de capacitance. Le faible coût de fabrication de la sonde provient également d'autres spécificités dont notamment le fait, d'une part que les conducteurs intérieurs et extérieurs sont des tubes en acier inoxydable dont le cordon de soudure est longitudinal, d'autre part que l'isolation du conducteur intérieur est une gaine thermorétractable, et qu'enfin on utilise un montage relativement simple à base de joint torique pour le couplage des deux conducteurs avec le carter.

Abstract: An improved method and block transform for image or video
encoding and decoding, wherein transformation and inverse
transformation matrixes are defined such that computational
complexity is significantly reduced when encoding and decoding.
For example, in the two-dimensional inverse transformation of
de-quantized transform coefficients into output pixel
information during decoding, only four additions plus one shift
operation are needed, per co-efficient transformation, all in
sixteen-bit arithmetic. Transformations provide correct
results because quantization during encoding and dequantization
(sixteen bit) during decoding, via the use of one
of three tables selected based on each coefficient's position,
have parameter values that already compensate for factors of
other transformation multiplications, except for those of a
power of two, (e.g., two or one-half), which are performed by a
shift operation during the transformation and inverse
transformation processes. Computational complexity is
significantly reduced with respect to other known transforms
without adversely impacting compression or quality.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des matières permettant d'identifier des anomalies génétiques qui prédisposent un individu à des maladies du canal ionique. L'invention concerne quatre sites polymorphiques situés au niveau du gène KCNQ1 qui entraînent une conductibilité réduite du courant du canal ionique de potassium associé et une forme de variant du gène KCNE1 qui entraîne une conductibilité diminuée malgré le canal. La forme de variant du gène KCNE1 agit également de manière synergique avec des variants du gène KCNQ1 pour entraîner une conductibilité davantage diminuée qu'avec l'un ou l'autre variant utilisé seul. L'invention concerne également des polymorphismes des gènes du canal ionique présentant une fréquence plus élevée chez des populations affectées par des maladies du canal ionique ou au sein de groupes témoins. La détection desdits sites polymorphiques qui produisent les variants du canal ionique de potassium sous forme hétérozygote ou homozygote chez un sujet indique que le sujet présente, ou est susceptible de présenter, des maladies du canal ionique telles que l'arythmie cardiaque acquise ou congénitale, le syndrome du QTL, le SMSN, l'épilepsie, ou la perte auditive.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des dosage biologiques permettant la détection rapide, avec une grande spécificité, de la forme pathogène de la protéine du prion responsable de maladies neurodégénératives affectant l'homme et l'animal, telle que l'encéphalite spongiforme transmissible des bovins, des moutons et des chats. L'invention concerne en outre des dosages biologiques permettant de tester la charge alimentaire animale, telle que l'alimentation animale, pour rechercher la présence de protéine de prion pathogène ou des concentrations de ladite protéine. Les résultats sont disponibles entre 0,5 et approximativement 20 minutes et de préférence entre 5 et approximativement 10 minutes. Les dosages biologiques font appel à la protéinase-K pour séparer la protéine de prion normal d'un échantillon biologique, de sorte que l'échantillon puisse être analysé par immunochromatographie, afin de déterminer la présence de protéine de prion pathogène et la concentration dans laquelle elle se trouve. La protéinase-K étant immobilisée sur un support solide pour une élimination in situ des constituants perturbateurs, la présente invention rend inutile l'extraction subséquente de l'analyte voulu. Tous les aspects de la présente invention sont appropriés pour quantifier la quantité détectable minimale de protéine de prion pathogène dans un échantillon biologique. En outre, la simplicité de la préparation de l'échantillon permet d'utiliser ladite invention sur le terrain.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant l'immobilisation irréversible d'enzymes dans des revêtements de polyuréthane. L'invention concerne également un revêtement contenant des enzymes et présentant un taux d'immobilisation des enzymes approchant les 100 %. En l'occurrence, la synthèse de revêtement de polyuréthane à l'eau a permis la fixation irréversible de l'enzyme à la matrice polymère. La distribution d'enzyme immobilisé ainsi que le maintien d'activité restent homogènes dans le revêtement. La décroissance de l'hydrophobicité des revêtements contenant des enzymes résultant de l'utilisation d'un prépolymère de polyisocyanate moins hydrophobe pendant la polymérisation a renforcé de façon remarquable l'activité intrinsèque des revêtements contenant des enzymes.

Abstract: To provide a fairness of distribution, an encrypted event, containing information
not intended for release prior to a release time, can be sent to clients prior to the release
time. In such a manner the bulk of the information can be transferred to the clients
without concern to the duration of the transfer. At the release time, a small decryption
key can be sent, either from a central sever, or from multiple server, utilizing multiple
network paths to provide for the greatest likelihood that each client will receive the
decryption key with a minimum of delay. Each client is thereby provided access to the
information at approximately the same time, regardless of the bandwidth available to
each client. Additionally, trusted edge servers, that can be trusted not to release
information prior to an appropriate time, can send an unencrypted event, or decrypt the
encrypted event and send the decrypted event, at a determined time, either prior to or
after the release time, such that the decrypted or unencrypted event arrives at the clients
that could not store and decrypt the encrypted event at approximately the same time as
the key arrives at the other clients. Each client can thus receive the information at
approximately the same time, regardless of the client's bandwidth or its ability to store
and decrypt information.
